Storage Instructions

However, you can store them in a container with a lid in the refrigerator. Make sure to blend it again for a few seconds before serving to get its full creamy texture back!
Frequently Asked Questions
Let me answer the common questions about this keto smoothie.
Of all dairy products, milk is one of the highest in carbs.
Milk is therefore not keto-friendly since it contains a large amount of lactose, one of the disaccharides that increase blood sugar levels quickly.
Classic takeaway smoothies are most of the time not keto-friendly. However, keto smoothie recipes like this one are perfectly fine to have daily.
Bananas are not recommended on a keto diet because they are quite high in carbs.
As a result, a very small amount of banana contains as many carbs as many raspberries or strawberries.
You can use any plant based milk such as coconut milk, cashew milk, or almond milk.
Absolutely! Many Keto-friendly smoothies can be used as protein shakes. Just make sure to include enough good protein sources!
One way to add some healthy, keto-friendly vegetarian proteins is to add a scoop of low-carb protein powder. Most of them would not alter the total carbs but would boost your proteins!
Yes, you can have peanut butter on a keto diet. Obviously, it has to be pure peanut butter made of 100% peanuts with no added sugar and no added oil.
In fact, vegetable oils are not keto-friendly, and many brands add oils or sugar to their products.
So make sure to check the ingredient list and look for peanuts only or peanuts and salt.
So, is this chocolate peanut butter smoothie keto? Yes, it very much is! Use it to top up your macros!
